Shiprocked 2026: A Musical Voyage Awaits

Exciting Lineup Announcement

Ask 4 dropped the initial lineup today for Shiprocked 2026, and it is stacked with a bunch of great bands. We will also be sailing on a new ship, Carnival’s Horizon, for six days and nights of music, sun, and fun! This year, we will be sailing to Half Moon Cay, Celebration Key, and finally to Nassau, Bahamas, where a surprise awaits!

Returning Favorites

Shiprocked 2026 is welcoming back Halestorm for a special performance in Nassau, taking advantage of a late departure. Many bands are returning, including Motionless in White, Wage War, Suicidal Tendencies, Avatar, Sleep Theory, From Ashes to New, '68, Dead Poet Society, Zero 9:36, and Starset, which hasn't been on the boat since 2018.

New Faces on Board

There are a lot of other bands that will be joining us for the first time this year. Knocked Loose, Awolnation, Kittie, Archetypes Collide, Aurorawave, The Barbarians of California, Death by Romy, Dinosaur Pile-Up, The Funeral Portrait, Holy Wars, House of Protection, Lowlives, Not Enough Space, Sheperds Reign, and Unitytx. We welcome all new bands to the Shiprocked Family! I'm excited to see many of these new bands, as we haven't seen them live before.

Anticipation Builds

Ask 4 still has more to announce, as we do not have The Stowaways yet. My thoughts on the lineup we got today are that it is going to be a great ship experience. It will be hard to see everyone we would like to see, but we will make it work since each band gets to play twice. We will have to wait for the schedule to see if we can make it all work.

Stay Updated

Be sure to check back for updates as we get closer! All updates will be posted on the Shiprocked 2026 page. We will also try to post more blogs as we get more information.
